their intentions of opening jewelry store
on the New York plan and made arrange
ments with Charles A. White, the real estate
man, to lease a store at No. 50 Center street

Root, who appeared to be well educated, had
glib tongue and stated to Mr.. White

GOOD Hope of Her Recovery.

At Humphrey street church at yesterday
forenoon's services letter was read from
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Bray, announcing with
joy most gratifying change regarding the
prospects of the recovery of the pastors wife
and that her restoration to health is looked
for. In an interview with Mr.. Bray that
gentleman said: After an examination
which made Saturday last by DR.. Dud-
ley, distinguished New York specialist,
Dr. Dudley was enabled to state without
hesitation that what had been supposed to
be an incurable internal cancer was not such,
but a flroid tumor, and that there was now
good ground to hope for the steady progress
of the patient toward recovery. To facii-
tate this end it would be advisable that the
patient be removed to DR.. Dudley's private
hospital, where her case could receive daily
attention, and the patient is accordingly to
be removed to New York for this purpose to-
day or tomorrow. The news of the change
as to the patients prospects will afford great
pleasure to the many friends of the Rev. Mr.
and Mrs. Bray and the family in tbs city.

brilliant success in their presentation of

to leave this city soon to enter into business

Parsons also took up the subject of murders

Continuing, he said that the basis for the
enormous increase of crime, he was informed
by the local police, was more largely due to

An Express Thrown From the Track.
WESTMINSTER, Mass, Jan. 16.-The west
srn express on the Fitchburg railroad which
should have reached Boston at 3 o'clock this
afternoon, but had been delayed. was thrown
from the track on reaching here at o'clock
by broken rail at the switch. The engine,
smoker, baggage car and one sleeper passed
over the break safely, but the two sleepers
and passenger coach which made up the
rest of the train were thrown off and pretty
badly smashed. In one of the sleepers the
only occupants were Mrs. James Wilson of
Augusta, Me, and her child They were
only slightly bruised. In the other were
Captain F. A. Kendell, U. S. A, and wife,
of Cleveland, O.; w. b. Forman, insurance
agent; Mr.. Warner, the conductor, and the
porter named Primer. They were all slightly
bruised. There were about thirty people in
the passenger coach, but strange to relate
they all escaped even the slightest injury,
notwithstanding the fact that they were
thrown around the car in every direction.
Among the passengers in this car were the
Lorenzo theatrical troupe. In leaving the
track the cars collided with and overturned
six freight cars on siding. The tracks
were blocked until midnight when wrecking
trains succeeded in getting them cleared
